The loft jobs we see in Morecambe
42% of homes in Morecambe are semi-detached. A typical semi has a roomy loft with one party wall, plenty of space to insulate well and often to store things too, on a floor raised above the insulation.
Terraces make up 19% of the housing here. Many are older, with roofs that like to stay dry, so breathable materials such as sheep’s wool can be a comfortable fit alongside good airflow at the eaves.
Flats and maisonettes account for 27% of homes here. If yours is on the top floor, the loft above is often shared, and the freeholder or managing agent will need to agree to any work.
Private renting is common in Morecambe (26% of households). Landlords are responsible for the building, and a warm, well-ventilated loft is one of the simpler improvements to a rented home.

Questions about loft insulation in Morecambe
What are most homes in Morecambe like?
The most common are semi-detached houses (42% of households at the 2021 Census), followed by flats at 27%.
Do I need to clear the loft first?
The floor needs to be clear. If that’s a big job, tell us and we can include it.
Can I insulate the loft above my top-floor flat?
Usually only with the freeholder’s or managing agent’s agreement. Check your lease, then let us know when you get in touch.
Can I keep my loft storage?
Yes. A floor raised on legs above the insulation keeps the storage without squashing the insulation.
How can I tell if mine is too thin?
If you can see the tops of the joists, it probably is.
